Financial assets include the companies' shares, both private and public, bonds, units of funds, and other financial instruments. It should be understood that in addition to the fact that each country has not only a number of its own regulatory features but all technical infrastructure systems are also built on the principles of centralized management. That is, users trust professional market participants to handle their assets. For example, an investor buys or sells shares through a broker, traders keep their balances in exchange accounts for trading, or a bank client trusts them to keep money in their accounts. In all cases, the asset owners trust the third organization. This is where the problems begin... There are thousands of examples when even regulated financial institutions deceived their clients, went bankrupt, blocked, or completely lost all the assets they kept on their balance sheets. Many companies surreptitiously enrich themselves by owning assets other than their own, floundering on their balance sheets, and playing complex financial games that, in most cases, are not directly understood by the asset owners. Problems also arise in the most stable companies, , to say nothing of small companies in financially underdeveloped regions. Lehman Brothers The problem is apparent — people cannot freely dispose of their assets and depend on a number of often non-transparent organizations. Many centralized organizations operate in an old-fashioned way, although they have long lost their credibility. But is there a solution? There is a solution! The development and implementation of decentralized systems allow users to independently own their assets without resorting to custodians or other centralized institutions. First, let's understand that decentralized networks are various blockchains that store data in distributed ledgers and do not need a central operator. Take the Bitcoin blockchain as an example. No authority could stop the system or hack the data stored in it. To date, not a single hacker has been able to break into this network by appropriating other people's assets. Blockchain is a database with utmost trust in the absence of even one system administrator. The rapid development of the crypto industry over the past ten years has demonstrated a clear interest in decentralized technologies, and today cryptocurrencies are in circulation by 300 million users. Still, they are also regulated in most countries along with financial assets. Only in the United States over the past three years, 21 legal acts have been adopted that regulate operations with crypto assets and their derivatives. Over the past three years, the concept of Decentralized Finance has come into everyday use, including all financial transactions with crypto assets. Based on new technologies, decentralized exchanges, deposit and lending systems, complex programs of composite income by providing liquidity to other protocols, and much more have been created. Today, the (defining market size as TVL in DeFi protocols) and is only gaining momentum. DeFi market is estimated at $239 billion But let us remind you that most transactions in DeFi occur with classic crypto assets that have no real value in the offline economy. The fundamental technological adoption will happen when tangible assets, such as real estate or corporate securities denominated in security tokens are freely stored and exchanged on blockchains. This can happen thanks to changing the notorious outdated systems, centralized depositories, and trading platforms. We are talking about the liberalization of capital and providing an opportunity for all people with a blockchain wallet to participate in the global capital market, remaining directly the holders of their assets and not transferring their ownership to third parties. An overwhelming majority of the companies worldwide are not public and therefore aren't traded on the security exchanges. Instead, they remain private and are seldom traded anywhere, making them a lot less liquid than public companies’ shares or cash. If you have a stake in such a business that you wish to sell as soon as possible, you won't accomplish this goal very quickly: even after an investor is found, it takes a couple of months to draft paperwork. Thankfully, such a status quo is finally changing thanks to tokenization technology and decentralized solutions. Any business can be tokenized and represented in the form of liquid tokens, which opens a brave new world of opportunities for traditional private companies. Firstly, liquid businesses attract more investors' attention. The possibility of selling the security tokens anytime on a decentralized platform that doesn't depend on brokers and intermediaries is a considerable advantage. Stobox DS Swap is one such platform. Secondly, attracting money to such a business is much simpler as the investor's geography is global and not limited to the owner's or local broker's inner circle. Fully-compliant online fundraising is an absolute advantage of tokenization. Thirdly, the DeFi mechanics open up possibilities for creating new business models that would feature utility tokens or NFT. For instance, a real estate project in Tulum, Mexico, uses NFT and its own cryptocurrency to work with its community of investors and clients. "In practice, we are witnessing the successful application of tokenization in a number of industries every day, primarily real estate, which is the most voluminous asset class with very low liquidity. The first security token to be traded on the decentralized platform DS Swap will be our client's Landshare real estate token. We are negotiating with several major real estate companies and will soon bring many more security tokens to the market." - CEO and Сo-founder of Stobox, Gene Deyev. The last thing worth mentioning is that the entry threshold in tokenized assets for investors is as low as $100 or even less. Provided that 2 billion people worldwide are unbanked and the inflation rates are getting higher and higher, preserving personal funds in a real-estate-backed security token will be a reliable means of saving for millions of people worldwide. Let's imagine a world where multimillion commercial buildings belong not to financial groups but are represented as millions of security tokens and are preserved on Androids or the Indian fishers' wallets, bringing a stable 10%-12% annual income, as well as the possibility to sell an asset anytime. Summary Tokenization has gone far from a theoretical concept. Today it is an actively developing technology at the intersection of traditional finance and blockchain. Many companies and government bodies are exploring the possibilities of tokenization. For example, a group of Stobox experts participated in developing laws related to tokenization, together with the Ministry of Digital Transformation of Ukraine. We have spent over 50,000 hours researching and consulting for our clients. If you would like to learn more about tokenization for your company, we would be happy to . advise you

How Decentralized Systems Are Reshaping the Financial Market

Please tell us briefly about your background. I have always been excited about innovations and had a huge desire to promote them. Back in the day, I used to be a researcher in theoretical physics. I wanted to work on creating long-term innovations, and this is how it came to me: I didn’t just want to work on them; I wished to be involved in real-world applications of such innovations and their commercialization. This is what led me to finance and startups. I started developing Stobox as one of the disruptive and socially impactful things. What's your startup called? And in a sentence or two, what does it do? Our company’s name is . The problem we are addressing is investing in businesses not traded on a stock exchange. As more than 99,9% of all the existing companies are private, it makes them almost impossible to invest in. Another benefit of such an approach is and direct capital to the productive sectors of the economy. Stobox The Stobox team makes it possible thanks to the technology of decentralized finance, as the shares become tradable on the blockchain. reducing economic inequality by giving ordinary people a chance to invest This is possible thanks to lowered investment threshold enabled by Defi investing: different people can invest as little as $100. What is the origin story of Stobox? Compared to our coming-of-age story, the origin story is pretty boring. We were witnessing the asset tokenization industry growing and becoming more potent every day, which eventually led us to create a product with the sole purpose of leveraging hype. However, after a while, we came upon big challenges, which in turn made us see greater possibilities. The challenges we faced made us realize that to conduct a truly functioning business, we had to keep up with an enormous amount of aspects, innovations, and technological issues. Those were, for example, digital identity, a blockchain-based layer tune, a range of complicated consulting- and legal-related issues. It became clear that a venture like this required way more resources than we thought at first; but, at the same time, we realized this little deal of ours had all the potential needed to become a disruptive unicorn. What do you love about your team, and why are you the ones to solve this problem? First of all, everybody on the Stobox team is very committed to this company and to one another. Each soldier of our army is a working bee deeply concerned by the companies’ matters, and this allows us to keep each other accountable for high performance. We genuinely put a lot of our time and inner resources into this work. Secondly, everybody in Stobox is a fast learner. This is a quality I especially appreciate since the blockchain industry creates innovations a lot faster than any other, which requires an adequate pace of learning: if you don’t educate yourself every day, you have a big risk of falling behind really quickly. Thanks to having an upper hand, we are always in the capacity to adapt to the market as soon as possible and offer disruptive solutions. If you weren’t building your startup, what would you be doing? It’s probably two options. The first variant would still involve analytics — either in the academic sphere or not. It could be some sort of product management. Variant two would certainly include education: I love teaching people and making them grow, become better at what they do, and share their experiences. It definitely would be coaching or consulting. At the moment, how do you measure success? What are your core metrics? Our most important goal, for now, is building a complicated scalable machine out of our business. There is one big challenge though. As tokenization is not a single complete product but a complicated process with a variety of movable elements, finalizing the whole process requires a lot of time. The complication of this level leaves space for different types of errors or uncertainties, which is normal and requires customizing. I see my mission here to turn this business into one big tokenization corporation which would be scalable and grow every day. It leads me to have two core metrics: the first is the . This metric includes various cases and companies turning to us for help as every single one of them allows us to practice something new and become better at it. It’s also about market share. The second metric is the : in our field, speed is a key to quality and efficiency. quantity of the closed contracts speed of closing a deal What’s most exciting about your traction to date? The grade of how much people trust us and believe in us, especially considering how innovative the technology is. Before we launched , we had 30,000 people signed up for the waitlist regardless of the fact it wasn’t live yet. The fact that all these people believe in us inspires me enormously. Stobox Digital Assets Exchange At the same time, we have clients — companies with billions of dollars in assets. They believe in us as well, and they are willing to accept the challenge that disruptive technologies give them. I also should mention how much resources we have put into analyzing and building our solution. We spent over 15,000 hours building our product, which is the whole Stobox Ecosystem, including the most recent projects like and . This amount of time features legal, financial, and technical research, but doesn’t include the development itself. DS Dashboard DS Swap What technologies are you currently most excited about, and most worried about? And why? There are two such technologies. The first is . Our experience shows us that the majority of technical issues and delays happen due to the constant need to pass the verification process for the investors and share their data. The next relevant problem is data theft or using it inappropriately. The big pain of this industry is ensuring proper data protection, which makes me excited about the technology to preserve such data in a personalized manner on the blockchain. It allows users to give easy access to their data simply by signing permission with their private keys, and, most importantly, monetize the data provision: the company can work with the user’s data only if it pays them for it. It’s an excellent opportunity for vulnerable individuals and additional control over the companies monetizing their users’ data very easily. decentralized digital identity The second technology is . On the one hand, it’s very exciting as it can influence the way we operate and think like humans. On the other hand, though, implementing such innovation can easily turn to some Black Mirror episode: what if it will cause bad side effects, or not everybody will get access to this technology? How will it influence the idea of the human? brain-computer interfaces What drew you to get published on HackerNoon? What do you like most about our platform? First of all, HackerNoon helps the community to gather together. It is the circle of people who are in love with innovations and creativity, which corresponds to our company’s spirit. This is also the platform’s vibe: a startup-hackerish mood that comes in handy if your entire work’s supertask is to hack the traditional financial system (in a good way, of course). As I said before, it's our goal to make this system more inclusive and efficient. What advice would you give to the 21-year-old version of yourself? Fail faster. 90% of everything you do is incorrect, but you can’t know for sure what 90% is, which is why it’s necessary to shorten the path to verify it. What is something surprising you've learned this year that your contemporaries would benefit from knowing? The quantity of work you put in doesn’t equal the output. Sometimes, while working significantly less, you get better results simply thanks to being fresher and taking care of yourself. Also, nobody really knows what they are doing. At the very dawn of your career, it seems like all the CEOs, directors, and top executives get this mysterious bigger picture and are long familiar with the revelation, but the more you work, the more it comes to you that people are only humans at any given stage. Millionaire investors tend to not know a lot of stuff; they learn and make mistakes, and each of them surely used to be in the shoes of an unconfident beginner. It’s crucial to not only value the experience but also to understand that, in the first place, it is about openness and flexibility of the mind, being ready to move fast, and willingness to work hard.

"Fail faster. Shorten the path to success": Borys Pikalov, Stobox Co-Founder

The tokenization of tangible assets, otherwise known as is one of the most promising trends in blockchain technology. The key reason why it is so is that it has the potential to unlock the future of finance. real-world assets(RWA), According to a popular analytics platform, the tokenized asset industry has reached a market capitalization of $700 million. RWA.xyz, From the US tokenizing its short-term treasuries and bank deposits to Nigeria’s Solid Minerals Development Funds signing a partnership agreement with Agile Dynamics Tech, the vast potential of blockchain technology to redefine global investment opportunities is indubitably present. In this article, we explore how the tokenization of real-world assets can usher in foreign direct investment(FDI). In the last two years, RWA has gone from a front-page newspaper story to a much bigger investment vehicle with RWA-focused companies like Stobox, Tokeny, Agile Dynamics Tech, etc, pushing its boundaries.  The growing popularity of RWA in the world of finance therefore underscores the importance of leveraging blockchain for economic growth. RWA: A Game Changer While some forward-looking nations are exploring the economic potential of the tokenization of real-world assets (RWA), others might just be sleeping on a viable opportunity to allure and expedite foreign investments. But as the competition for foreign capital increases, real-world tokenization is bound to open up access to foreign direct investments, thereby accelerating economic growth and creating job opportunities. As it stands, not only is RWA tokenization attracting so much attention in the US Treasuries department, but it is also beginning to dominate the conversation in Africa’s largest economy, highlighting the growing importance of leveraging blockchain technology in the world. With Nigeria, a country known for its abundant natural resources, signing a Letter of Intent(LOI)a partnership agreement with Agile Dynamics Tech, a Dubai-based Web3 consulting firm, it is evident that the West African country is bound and determined to make headway in attracting foreign capital through the tokenization of tangible assets. This partnership agreement was signed at the Future Minerals Forum held in Riyadh, Saudi Arabia, where Nigeria was represented by the CEO of Solid Minerals Development Funds, Fatima Umaru Shinkafi. Understanding The Importance of Real World Asset(RWA) Tokenization At its core, real-world asset tokenization represents an investment vehicle backed by blockchain technology. It can be anything from real estate to gold deposits to tokenized bonds, and its fundamental criterion is that it must exist in physical form to be fractionalised, traded and stored on the blockchain. The following are some of the benefits accruing from the tokenization of tangible assets that exist in the physical world: Fractionalized Ownership Tokenization makes tangible assets more accessible. Through this means, fractional ownership of tokenized assets has become an avenue for investors to invest in a spectrum of assets and different industries as well as countries. Secure Ownership of Digital Assets Blockchain is the underlying technology of digital assets offering transparency and security. This enables investors to rely on the protection that its immutable ledger guarantees. Enhanced Liquidity The availability of liquidity and the ease of converting tangible assets makes tokenization all the more attractive, as the mechanism for liquidating or swiftly exchanging them exists on the blockchain. Cross-Border Accessibility One of the advantages of RWA tokenization is that it transcends borders. This tears down barriers to investing in other countries and it facilitates foreign direct investment(FDI)with unhindered access to foreign capital across the world. Regulation And Compliance As investors are particular about the safety of their holdings, RWA tokenization is often carried out in a manner that is consistent with the laws and directives of local agencies. Across the world, a growing number of crypto regulatory agencies like the FCA(Financial Conduct Authority), SEC, etc are charged with the mandate to protect investors against financial irresponsibility and recklessness. Foreign Market The growing presence of RWA tokenization is enabling investors across the world to have access to untapped markets, or emerging markets if you like. There are boundless economic opportunities that this facilitates. An example could be a US citizen securing investment opportunities in Nigeria’s tin industry by buying tokenized fractions of its assets. Lower Transaction Cost Investing in tokenized assets usually attracts a small amount of transaction fee, otherwise known as a gas fee. This effective mechanism removes third-party tendencies and enables investors to save on such expenses. Portfolio Diversification With access to fractionalised assets, investors across the globe are offered a unique opportunity to diversify their holdings across a spectrum of assets and in different parts of the world. Risk Management When you combine blockchain technology as an immutable ledger and treasury management with regulation, you will have a perfect recipe for efficient risk management. Tokenisation of RWA therefore encourages a routine check on the financial standing of digital assets companies and their scrutiny by regulating authorities worldwide. Conclusion There has always been a bullish outlook on the tokenization of real world-assets(RWA) with many observers touting it to be the next big thing in the world of finance. After all, countries like the US and Nigeria are making a little headway in attracting foreign capital through this means.  RWA tokenization offers a lot of investment opportunities for investors across the globe, and it opens up access to foreign direct investment(FDI), which can propel economic growth. My previous highlighted Nigeria’s growing interest in the tokenization of real-world assets(RWA). At the recently held Future Minerals Forum, the country was represented by Fatima Umaru Shinkafi, CEO of the Solid Minerals Development Funds, and a partnership agreement was signed between Nigeria and Agile Dynamics Tech, a Dubai-based Web3 consulting agency. write-up This article(Beyond The Stock Market: The Link Between Real World Assets And Foreign Direct Investment)was authored by Paul Lalovich partner at Agile Dynamics Tech. I hereby disclose that I was duly granted permission to edit and publish it on HackerNoon as an addition to the body of work on RWA.

To the Winners of #Startups2021, With Love:

For the 12th part of Unhashed, I reached out to Ross Shemeliak, the Co-Founder and Chief Operating Officer of , a firm helping companies leverage the potential of tokenized securities and digital assets. Stobox Let’s delve into what he had to say on digital securities, regulations, traditional fundraising methods, and more. Q1: Welcome to Unhashed. Please share with us your journey into crypto and how you came to the Stobox Project? Answer: From my teenage years, I was fascinated by economics and everything related to it. After graduating, I would attend a study-in-practice economics course by the vice prime minister of economy, where my team and I were proudly recognized as the best students. Long story short, I was in love with the current subject from a pretty early age, which led me to study it on a more professional level. I started my finance career as a sales manager and later analyst position in a hedge fund. My job was to consult and help interested people invest in the US stock market, commodities, as well as cryptocurrency. This had fully immersed me in futures and stock trading, the wall street market, and the way it works in practice out in the real world. While working there, I came across the technological and fast-growing blockchain market, so I began to study this technology much more deeply and started building my crypto portfolio. I also started trading Bitcoin, which allowed me to get a much closer look at the blockchain technologies and instruments and navigate within the various projects. While monitoring different exciting blockchain projects as well as outstanding job opportunities, my attention fell on Stobox, where, as luck would have it, my good acquaintance worked as well. This is how I joined the project, learned more about STOs, and generally started immersing myself in the tokenized securities market more. Q2: How important are global secondary markets for digital securities? And what benefits can tokenized securities derive from them? Answer: Let’s take a look at the way the investment market works today on a case example: Say there’s an American startup involved in developing some innovative product. There also are investors like venture funds or angel investors who wish to fund it. At the moment, the investment procedure suggests buying the startups’ paper securities. But what’s needed for this startup to sell its stocks when it grows is to look for an investor or a fund, to which you will be able to sell the current stock – namely a share, which could have grown in price. Or wait for the startup to conduct an IPO only in order to receive such a possibility. How does the digital securities market work? The logic is the same, but instead of paper security, you have its digital equivalent in MetaMask. This, however, doesn’t solve the problem of the liquidity absence: to sell such a share, you still need to find somebody who would buy it. This is why the secondary market is a necessity for industry growth, and this is the benefit enabled by the very essence of digital securities. This is why we developed one of our newest products, DS Swap, which works similarly to UniSwap for digital securities. DS Swap enables a startup company (or merely a big business) to let their investors open a secondary market whereas not going public. The problem with becoming public – listing the shares on security exchanges or stock exchanges – pushes the company to spend hundreds of thousands of dollars for listing; the price of conducting an IPO is around $10 000 000. Don’t forget about the enormous costs of reporting. On the contrary, the solution we are offering allows opening a secondary market while remaining private. Q3: Please tell us more about what Stobox is doing in the field of blockchain. Answer: We provide technology and consulting to help clients leverage digital assets and tokenized securities. During the last three years, Stobox developed a series of blockchain-based products, conducted 25000+ hours of research, advised numerous clients, and built partnerships in 10+ countries. Stobox exists at the intersection of traditional finance and crypto and strives to enable businesses to implement decentralized technologies, simplify operations with digital assets, and remove obstacles to their adoption. Currently, we are building the Digital Assets Ecosystem. It consists of several products, and we are putting an extra effort to make their usage as convenient as possible. In our work, we have two primary directions — tokenization and crypto. Tokenization: Stobox Digital Securities Dashboard — a white-label product, which is a stand-alone platform for issuing and managing digital securities. Digital Securities Swap — Think about it as a UniSwap for digital securities. Tokenization Consulting and Legal Management  — to help clients in the digital assets markets choose the proper jurisdiction, security type, corporate structure, as well as potential pitfalls, and a general project roadmap. Crypto: Stobox Exchange — a CEX designed for digital asset research and investments. We built this because we believe central it is important for investors to prioritize investing over trading. Stobox Bridge — a bridge between Ethereum and Binance Smart Chain two blockchains for our utility token STBU. NFTs — this spring, we issued a branded NFT merch collection. Q4: How do you see the future of tokenization? How shall tokenization complement the traditional methods of raising funding? Answer: The future of tokenization is twofold. One side of the problem relates to tokenization as a revolution of the infrastructure for accounting and operations with financial instruments. In this regard, we are going to see the processing of all financial instruments to ship onto the blockchain, primarily if they are already involved in those operations imported into blockchain themselves, such as custodians, government registers, and security depositaries. There is a general consensus in the financial industry that this is what awaits us. What's more interesting is the evolution of capital raising and the view on tokenization as a capital-raising method. One process that we are going to see is that tokenization or a token offering as a separate fundraising method will cease to exist. Instead, we are speaking about private placement, equity crowdfunding, or public offering being all conducted using tokenized securities. What will happen instead is that those conventional forms of fundraising will evolve using new technological opportunities. For example, it will be a new norm to have in your captable a few dozens or hundred community members holding minor stakes alongside one or two large angel or venture investors, so the line between conventional and institutional private placement and equity crowdfunding becomes quite blurred in this regard. What will also change is that when our view of tokenization matures, we stop seeing it as a way to make non-attractive assets attractive to sell, assets for which we cannot find buyers. Instead, we will see it as an additional opportunity to enhance yield for investors. Therefore, I don't think we will witness all businesses for which we hope the liquidity will emerge, or that we will securitize all assets with tokens, finding their investors or finding liquidity. Unfortunately, this is still a fundamental reality: many businesses are simply bad, not interesting for investors, and are unattractive as their assets. So we will be seeing tokenization as a way to make good assets even better. And those assets that were good but returns on which couldn't have been appropriately realized due to, for instance, lack of liquidity, will now be able to unleash their full potential using the opportunities provided by tokenization. Q5. What are the poentential roadblocks in this coexistence of traditional fundraising methods and tokenization? Answer: Lastly, regarding the roadblocks, this is probably the chicken-and-egg problem between the investor's interest and regulations. Because if you want tokenization to become mainstream, you need an investor's interest, which, in turn, comes not simply from the fact that you have attractive assets because you have the conventional market as well. It rather comes because tokenization makes investment better: now you can deposit your tokens into a lending protocol, or you can trade them using automated market-making protocols. So, what we need is investors and specifically large institution who are still the dominating force on the financial markets, and we need those investors to start embracing benefits of tokenized assets, and thus, start using DeFi protocols like UniSwap and Compound. But what you also need for that is the regulation. You need regulators recognizing the power of the decentralized finance solution as something that creates the potential of tokenized securities and therefore starts creating regulations and guidance for investors venturing into this field. But because all of those large institutional investors are usually highly regulated and highly risk-averse in terms of regulatory risks, the problem is, without a proper demand from those same institutions or the presence of the main political force in the decision-making financial authorities, we are not going to see competent authorities making those regulatory moves. Therefore, what is needed is institutional investors recognizing the potential of decentralized finance and pushing regulators into making the yield-enhancing opportunities and liquidity opportunities provided by DeFi fit into the regulatory framework that institutional investors can use. Probably the way this can happen is through those institutions primarily getting involved with conventional crypto, because with conventional crypto, at least in the one or two next years, trading it, investing in it and using it in DeFi solutions will be much easier from a legal perspective. So, this is where institutions will learn all the benefits of DeFi and start demanding a possibility to be applied to tokenized securities as well. Q6: On a different note, why did you decide to launch a crypto exchange in 2021? How is it different from other exchanges? Answer: When implementing the tokenized securities trajectory, we felt the demand for our own structure to work with crypto assets, and Stobox Exchange is one of its essential parts. Technology is the centerpiece of our belief system, and we see the opportunities brought along by investing and crypto assets. That is why our focus is to assist the new-to-crypto users to make their first steps in the crypto world — and make them successful ones. We choose the best сrypto projects for the Exchange to make this happen: with a high technological value and impact that we ourselves are ready to invest in. We moved away from margin or futures trading as well as competition with the existing exchanges. Instead, Stobox Exchange aims to take its niche and serve as a credible long-term gateway into the world of tokenized assets for novice users. Aside from transparency and strong technical support, Stobox Exchange has a chain of distinguishing core features ranging from a simple UX/UI for new-to-crypto users, a clear KYC policy, no hidden commissions, hand-picked projects to invest in and so on.
